Was £1500 delivered from liftech, it's got the metal runners (most use plastic sliders) and electric solenoids on the safety release catch, so doesn't need compressed air.

Added some washers and spayed with rust inhibitor.

what is the function of this rubber strip? I have just found mine has also been damaged.... is it necessary to replace it? What function does it perform?

no idea, but Mercedes engineers felt it necessary to install one. It's very easy to replace, just remember to use tri-fold rivets, as normal ones will rip straight through.

I'll get her Mazda traded up for something better this summer, so she won't need to use it!

my gf bought a Lexus SUV like 2 months ago but she still driving her Toyota Corolla.
i asked her why she' not driving the Lexus, she said i worry somebody going to scratch it.

If it was for me, I'd get a Megane, but she wants red leather :-(
